The icon with the image of Saint Pitirim of Tambov got into the Tambov Regional Ethnography Museum in January 1986 from one of the dwellers of the town. The work was painted by an unknown iconographer in the 1910s.
While working on the painting, the master covered the wooden panel with a frame made of a solid metal sheet. It has clothes, a baculus, a halo and a glow around the head of the holy hierarch, as well as the frame of the icon impressed on it. Some elements are engraved. The metal part of the icon usually symbolized the heavenly light coming from the saints depicted on it. The master cut holes in the icon frame for the face and hands. He painted these parts of the icon with tempera and oil on wood.
